About Me
I consider myself a person that loves language, using it to express real things as objective as it may be possible. I studied in USA, where I got a BS in Electronic Engineering and ever since I've been an avid English book reader on themes like: philosophy, literature, science and music.
I teach science at a local Technological University, named Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.
Several years ago I came across the visual thesaurus and became fascinated by its amazing capacities and easy usage.
